| lie took possession and run on about 800 head of
the Indian horses that were grazing on the public
lands near the reservation line. These horses
were corralled at Rangeley, Colorado, by Major
Leslie, who informed Lieut. Burnett that he would
hold them until certain Indians were delivered up
to him. The agent requested that authority be
obtained from the War Department to allow Col.
Randett, commanding Fort Duchesne, to send a
detail OF men to bring these horses the

dali, were compelled TO abandon 200 Sheep be-
side large herds Of goats, which should be re-
covered with the horses The Indians, when at

expedition, and they believed that they had right

graphed Gov. Adams, requesting him to take all
proper measures to deliver the coralled Indian
horses to Agent Byrnes, and to cooperate with
property OF these Indians with view OF restoring

found there contrary to law, and prevent unlaw-
full encroachment or entries thereon tor any pur-
